Common Causes of Chipped or Broken Teeth
Teeth can chip or break from biting hard foods or objects, facial trauma or accidents, tooth decay weakening the structure, large old fillings, teeth grinding or clenching, or sudden temperature changes. Whatever the cause, prompt treatment is important to prevent further damage and complications.
Treatment Options
Dr. Adam Schneider, Dr. Katie Staub, or Dr. Thomas Tran will recommend treatment based on the extent of damage:
- Dental Bonding - For minor chips, quick and affordable repair
- Dental Veneers - For front teeth with moderate damage
- Dental Crowns - For severely broken teeth, often same-day
- Root Canal Therapy - If the break exposes the tooth's nerve
- Extraction - Only if the tooth cannot be saved
